About AXIS Print AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI Utility for OS/2 printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:

•Install and maintain the AXIS 5400 printer ports as OS/2 printer ports.

•Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5400 ports.

Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5400 can be monitored and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.

Notes: ❏ The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS (LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.

❏If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.
